Table Talks I Talk 2: Matthew’s Table

We’re now in Talk 2 of our series, TABLE TALKS: Community Recipes of Love– which unpacks who we are—our family identity, destiny, and strategy to reach that vision. Our mission is to reach out to the lost and make them disciples of Jesus. The way to make them follow Jesus is to let them experience God’s Love.

So, the key message of Talk 2 is God loves sinners.

Talk 2 is titled Matthew’s Table because the Talk is based on the story of Matthew, the tax collector who invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests. At that time, tax collectors were regarded as sinners because they extorted excessive sums on behalf of the Roman Empire occupying Israel. Jesus accepted Matthew’s invitation, demonstrating that He loves sinners.

And this is our mission too.
